The Primordial Law

Chapter 363 Under the Hibiscus Tree
Only stores under the "Qianlishan" brand can sell Midnight Sun Dew.

A single drop is worth 30,000 to 40,000 Yongquan coins.

This is because the polar day dew is transported from abroad and can only be collected in the polar day region west of Yingzhou. It is the main ingredient for refining the Star Day Pill.

Li Weiyi opted for a less desirable option, refining the Xihe Pill, which was of significantly lower quality, primarily because he didn't want to spend a high price on the Polar Day Dew. Secondly, his mental power level was not yet high enough.

Clearly, the sea area where the Fusang Divine Tree is located is also a place of extreme daylight in the world.

……

Tang Wanzhou propelled the thirty-meter-long jade boat of the governor with his profound longevity energy, flying away from the sea at a speed like a streak of light. Soon after, it traversed thousands of miles, equivalent to crossing an entire state, and arrived at a sea area close enough to the Fusang Divine Tree.

Because they were close enough, the Fusang Divine Tree was no longer faint and became more and more real.

The bark had clear texture and a terrifying heat that could penetrate the jade boat's protective shield, making the two people inside feel as if they were in boiling water.

Without the protective shield, even if it weren't the time when the Golden Crow emerged from the sea, Li Weiyi's current physical strength would absolutely not be able to withstand it.

The sight before me was so wondrous and majestic that it was unimaginable that such enormous trees, brimming with the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, existed in the world. They stood countless miles tall, reaching straight into the clear, empty sky, each leaf resembling the moon from beyond the universe.

The jade boat was still far from the tree trunk, but it had already entered the area covered by the branches and leaves of the Fusang God.

Tang Wanzhou stood at the bow of the ship, raised his head, somewhat lost in thought, his eyes filled with longing for the Great Dao.

Li Weiyi also raised her head.

The sky is dotted with numerous moons shaped like mulberry leaves, each with the texture of a leaf and the shimmering glow of the moon. The branches and leaves are high up, separated by layers of thin mist, through which crimson-gold lightning can be faintly seen appearing and disappearing.

This scene easily evokes the expectation and longing that "one's own self is as insignificant as dust, while the great path is boundless and limitless." Compared to the Fusang Divine Tree, even the Realm of Longevity seems insignificant.

The jade boat stopped moving forward and flew upward, riding the wind and passing through the mist.

Flying twenty to thirty thousand meters above the sea, Li Wei saw a thin golden line falling straight down from the sky. At the bottom of the line was a gleaming golden droplet.

The midnight sun's light falls from the leaves of the Fusang tree, like liquid light, constantly dissipating, leaving trails like threads.

Unable to reach the sea, it dispersed into clusters of colorful clouds in mid-air.

Li Weiyi released a field of mental energy, enveloping and pulling a drop of polar day dew falling a mile away, and putting it into a special container.

The dripping of sunlight during the midnight sun is irregular.

The droplets fell extremely fast, each one far apart.

Li Weiyi spent a lot of time collecting just over forty drops.

Gradually, I realized something was wrong.

The jade boat continued to ascend, already at least 100,000 meters above the sea. Li Weiyi felt a strong sense of unease. Putting aside other dangers, if it were to fall, even a martial artist at the Dao Seed Realm could die on the sea.

Moreover, the wind at high altitude was unusually strong, and the jade boat encountered an unseen force, causing it to shake violently.

Li Weiyi stumbled and shouted, "We can't fly any higher! We have to get back to the sea! That's all for now... Tang Wanzhou... Oh no... Why did something happen to her at this time..."

Li Wei stumbled and rushed to the bow of the ship, patting her on the shoulder.

No response.

Tang Wanzhou gazed upwards at a leaf of the Fusang Divine Tree, extremely focused, his mind completely absorbed in it, trying to comprehend something.

Li Weiyi shouted loudly, then covered her eyes, using various methods.

Only her life-giving energy could activate the jade boat's strong enough defensive power to block the heat from the Fusang Divine Tree. Otherwise, Li Weiyi would have pushed her aside long ago and taken control of the jade boat himself.

"Tang Wanzhou... if you don't come to your senses soon, I might have to take action..."

Li Weiyi covered her eyes with his hands and said this urgently.

Tang Wanzhou raised his arm, pushed his hand away, and calmly looked at him: "How do you plan to make your move?"

"Shh!"

The jade boat swooped down, carrying the two of them back to shore.

Li Weiyi let out a long sigh, took a few steps back, and sat down on the side of the boat: "What was wrong with you just now? You seemed to be possessed."

Tang Wanzhou stood proudly with her hands behind her back, the Fusang Divine Tree becoming her backdrop. Her whole body was radiant with light, like an empress beneath the divine tree: "If a cultivator is not obsessed, how can he reach the pinnacle of martial arts? Just now, I was merely sensing something and entered a state of extreme concentration. In this state, my speed of enlightenment can increase several times."

Li Weiyi inquired about what this state actually looked like.

After hearing her description, Li Weiyi instantly understood; it was very similar to the state of mental clarity and enlightenment he entered after using the Jade Void Breathing Technique.

Clearly, these young prodigies possess extraordinary talents, going beyond simply being stronger in combat against others of the same level.

Li Weiyi turned to look at the sea below the Fusang Divine Tree. It was not extremely bright, but rather dark red, shrouded in the unknown, mysterious and ancient.

With Li Weiyi's current level of mental power, he is not yet able to actively lock onto spatial coordinates.

The jade boat must rush back to the sea area that Shaoyang Star initially locked onto, thousands of miles away.

Looking at the shimmering golden sea, Tang Wanzhou suddenly said, "I really want to keep sailing like this, to the other side of the sea, to see what kind of place it is? Is there also an ancient continent there? Are there different customs and people?"

Li Weiyi once traveled on an ancient bronze ship, passing through the Tanggu Sea. However, the bronze ship was quite peculiar, seemingly constantly leaping through space. At that time, he was too weak to perceive the ship's navigation patterns.

Briefly lost in thought, he said, "Legend has it that the Tanggu Sea is millions of miles wide. Even with our jade boat, crossing it safely would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Who knows if there are any aquatic monsters of the Longevity Realm or Transcendent Realm in the seas far beyond the Fusang Divine Tree? And..."

The thought of that boundless sea of ​​souls sent chills down Li Weiyi's spine.

Compared to the unknown of the ocean, staying in the Lingxiao habitat gives me a sense of security.

Tang Wanzhou urged the jade boat forward with all his might, and finally returned to the sea area where he started before the Golden Crow set sail.

Return to the Blood Sludge Space.

Li Weiyi finally had time to carefully study the forty-six drops of polar day dew he had collected. He was delighted to discover that the energy contained in each drop was several times more concentrated than the polar day dew he had obtained from Yin Er before.

It has extremely high heat, enough to drip through ordinary ritual implements.

He was in a dilemma.

With his current level of mental power and alchemy skills, the success rate of refining a normal Starry Night Pill is extremely low. Using the Polar Day Dew, which has several times the energy, the success rate is predictably even lower.

Although they could go back to collect more resources without worrying about depletion, the round trip would take a considerable amount of time, and Tang Wanzhou's condition was unstable, posing a significant risk to the collection efforts.

Moreover, the fourteen auxiliary ingredients used to refine the Starry Night Pill are also very expensive.

When Zen Sea Observation took away hundreds of thousands of Yongquan coins, he only bought back thirty doses of auxiliary medicine.

Li Weiyi suppressed his desire to immediately attempt alchemy and decided to read and study more alchemical texts before starting the matter.

The cocoon of time is re-formed.

Li Weiyi sat on the ground, swallowed a piece of four-colored immortal moss to refine his body, and focused his energy on making talismans.

Runes are divided into storable runes and non-storable runes.

Over 90% of runes are non-storable. In other words, a mind master can only temporarily draw them using their mental energy; as the energy dissipates, the rune's power also disappears.

The speed at which you cast a spell depends entirely on how fast you draw the strokes.

Among them, runes for combat tactics are particularly difficult to store, and most of them can only be drawn temporarily during battle.

It can be said that every type of storable battle rune is a secret of major powers, a kind of clan's foundation, and will not be passed on to outsiders.

The ability to store them means they can be refined into talismans, which can be stockpiled in large quantities. They can be unleashed instantly in battle, and if enough talismans are prepared, even high-level martial artists will have to retreat.

Li Weiyi's "Swiftness Talisman" and "Immobilization Talisman" were both learned from his spirit tablet master; they are auxiliary, storable talismans.

The talisman paper must be extremely carefully selected to hold powerful runes.

Previously, Li Weiyi's Swiftness Talisman and Immobilization Talisman were made using the wood from the divine stove left behind by the Zen Sea Mist, which was used to refine talisman paper.

He spent a lot of money to buy a large piece of Chaoran skin, which he then cut into seventy-four pieces, each six inches long and one inch wide.

Using the flames of spiritual light, it was carefully refined until it became as thin as paper.

To refine a binding talisman, auxiliary materials such as "mind-stabilizing sand" and "soul wood" must be added to increase the talisman's power and improve the success rate of drawing it.

Take out one of the talismans and place it in front of you.

Breathe in and out, enter a state of clear mind and mental clarity, and be extremely focused.

"Whoosh!"

Li Weiyi extended his right index finger as a pen, and a wisp of spiritual light flew out from between his eyebrows, merging with the talisman liquid that had been prepared in advance, flowing in circles on his index finger.

Immobilization runes have different levels; the higher the level, the more complex the runes, and the difficulty increases layer by layer.

Li Weiyi is now a five-star spiritual master, so naturally he wants to challenge the Gouhua, a talisman that can immobilize a martial artist at the fifth level of the Dao Seed Realm.

Such a talisman requires five layers to be drawn on the talisman paper, and each layer must be drawn correctly.

"Oh!"

As the second layer was drawn, the talisman shattered.

Li Weiyi was already used to it, and immediately drew the second sheet, starting from the beginning.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

I finally succeeded on the fourth drawing.

Li Weiyi immediately released the Golden Crow Flame to temper and stabilize the runes on the talisman paper.

The runes flowed like clouds and water, floating and sinking on the paper, mysterious and unpredictable.

Looking at his masterpiece, Li Weiyi smiled slightly: "Long Xiangcen should be at the peak of the fifth level of the Dao Seed Realm, plus the physique of her inheritor. Once this immobilization talisman is applied to her, it may not be able to kill her, but it should be able to immobilize her for one or two breaths. One or two breaths is enough to decide life and death."

"However, it is not an easy task to apply the talisman to her."

"And she might also have a protective treasure... We need to refine two more."

Li Weiyi's mental energy in the spirit world was mostly depleted and sealed in runes, requiring meditation to recover.

Next, a lot of time was spent crafting two more immobilization talismans and one speed talisman.

Li Weiyi began researching how to integrate the secret texts from the Six Jia Secret Incantation into the immobilization talisman to enhance its power.

He held the Yellow Dragon Sword and activated it with his magical energy.

"Wow!"

Nine ancient Taoist characters appeared on the sword.

“The character ‘者’ signifies purifying the mind and dispelling evil.”

"The character '临' is similar to the art of puppetry."

"The character '前' means 'to flash and escape quickly'."

"The character '行' can be incorporated into the Divine Travel Talisman."

"The character '阵' (zhen) can increase the power of the Sun, Moon and Stars Array."

"The word 'fight' can be used to forge a spiritual armor, transforming me from a spiritual master into a martial arts apprentice. Even without martial arts training or a physical body, I can still engage in close combat."

"The remaining texts are the three Taoist secret texts: Bing, Jie, and Lie."

Li Weiyi believes that the nine characters of the Six Jia Secret Blessing on the Yellow Dragon Sword were likely forged within the sword by the sages of the Chan Sect. The usage he has currently discovered is probably only the tip of the iceberg.

Just like the character "行" (xíng), it couldn't just be used to enhance the power of the Divine Travel Talisman.

These nine characters seem to be the origin of nine kinds of magic.
